how do I remove GPC Signal Detected from my Xfinity Stream app?
What is a GPC signal and how do I remove it. It appears when using Google Chrome. It doesn't seem to appear with other web browsers.

I've had the same problem with Chrome. I had an extension called "Privacy Badger" loaded that I disabled for the Xfinity website and the problem went away. Apparently they added new tracking on the Xfinity site and you can't block it or it breaks their site.

I have the same problem when making an online payment, not just not being able to view TV guide listings.

Someone asked "what is GPC"? Here is a brief explanation, but doesn't list every computer configuration ..

The bottom line is comcast is not respecting your browser/add-on/etc. request to respect *your* privacy on the web. Why would that be? Revenue. By messing with the site and/or rendering is unusable, they force you to use a browser (or remove add-ins) that protect your privacy. Problem solved, for comcast. Don't hold your breath for them to fix it.

I'm speaking to my attorney about this. Maybe a nice lawsuit against Xfinity over this will change their minds.

Signed-on this afternoon (1/24) and Brave browser is working normally again - no GPC detected image/error. Hope it's fixed permanently.
